+What: /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/
+Date: February 2008
+Contact: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org>
+Description:
+ All ACPI interrupts are handled via a single IRQ,
+ the System Control Interrupt (SCI), which appears
+ as "acpi" in /proc/interrupts.
+
+ However, one of the main functions of ACPI is to make
+ the platform understand random hardware without
+ special driver support. So while the SCI handles a few
+ well known (fixed feature) interrupts sources, such
+ as the power button, it can also handle a variable
+ number of a "General Purpose Events" (GPE).
+
+ A GPE vectors to a specified handler in AML, which
+ can do a anything the BIOS writer wants from
+ OS context. GPE 0x12, for example, would vector
+ to a level or edge handler called _L12 or _E12.
+ The handler may do its business and return.
+ Or the handler may send send a Notify event
+ to a Linux device driver registered on an ACPI device,
+ such as a battery, or a processor.
+
+ To figure out where all the SCI's are coming from,
+ /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts contains a file listing
+ every possible source, and the count of how many
+ times it has triggered.

+ All counters can be cleared by clearing the total "sci":
+ # echo 0 > sci
+
+ None of these counters has an effect on the function
+ of the system, they are simply statistics.

+Memory Controller
+
+Salient features
+
+a. Enable control of both RSS (mapped) and Page Cache (unmapped) pages
+b. The infrastructure allows easy addition of other types of memory to control
+c. Provides *zero overhead* for non memory controller users
+d. Provides a double LRU: global memory pressure causes reclaim from the
+ global LRU; a cgroup on hitting a limit, reclaims from the per
+ cgroup LRU
+
+NOTE: Swap Cache (unmapped) is not accounted now.
+
+Benefits and Purpose of the memory controller
+
+The memory controller isolates the memory behaviour of a group of tasks
+from the rest of the system. The article on LWN [12] mentions some probable
+uses of the memory controller. The memory controller can be used to
+
+a. Isolate an application or a group of applications
+ Memory hungry applications can be isolated and limited to a smaller
+ amount of memory.
+b. Create a cgroup with limited amount of memory, this can be used
+ as a good alternative to booting with mem=XXXX.
+c. Virtualization solutions can control the amount of memory they want
+ to assign to a virtual machine instance.
+d. A CD/DVD burner could control the amount of memory used by the
+ rest of the system to ensure that burning does not fail due to lack
+ of available memory.
+e. There are several other use cases, find one or use the controller just
+ for fun (to learn and hack on the VM subsystem).
+
+1. History
+
+The memory controller has a long history. A request for comments for the memory
+controller was posted by Balbir Singh [1]. At the time the RFC was posted
+there were several implementations for memory control. The goal of the
+RFC was to build consensus and agreement for the minimal features required
+for memory control. The first RSS controller was posted by Balbir Singh[2]
+in Feb 2007. Pavel Emelianov [3][4][5] has since posted three versions of the
+RSS controller. At OLS, at the resource management BoF, everyone suggested
+that we handle both page cache and RSS together. Another request was raised
+to allow user space handling of OOM. The current memory controller is
+at version 6; it combines both mapped (RSS) and unmapped Page
+Cache Control [11].
+
+2. Memory Control
+
+Memory is a unique resource in the sense that it is present in a limited
+amount. If a task requires a lot of CPU processing, the task can spread
+its processing over a period of hours, days, months or years, but with
+memory, the same physical memory needs to be reused to accomplish the task.
+
+The memory controller implementation has been divided into phases. These
+are:
+
+1. Memory controller
+2. mlock(2) controller
+3. Kernel user memory accounting and slab control
+4. user mappings length controller
+
+The memory controller is the first controller developed.
+
+2.1. Design
+
+The core of the design is a counter called the res_counter. The res_counter
+tracks the current memory usage and limit of the group of processes associated
+with the controller. Each cgroup has a memory controller specific data
+structure (mem_cgroup) associated with it.
+
+2.2. Accounting
+
+ +--------------------+
+ | mem_cgroup |
+ | (res_counter) |
+ +--------------------+
+ / ^ \
+ / | \
+ +---------------+ | +---------------+
+ | mm_struct | |.... | mm_struct |
+ | | | | |
+ +---------------+ | +---------------+
+ |
+ + --------------+
+ |
+ +---------------+ +------+--------+
+ | page +----------> page_cgroup|
+ | | | |
+ +---------------+ +---------------+
+
+ (Figure 1: Hierarchy of Accounting)
+
+
+Figure 1 shows the important aspects of the controller
+
+1. Accounting happens per cgroup
+2. Each mm_struct knows about which cgroup it belongs to
+3. Each page has a pointer to the page_cgroup, which in turn knows the
+ cgroup it belongs to
+
+The accounting is done as follows: mem_cgroup_charge() is invoked to setup
+the necessary data structures and check if the cgroup that is being charged
+is over its limit. If it is then reclaim is invoked on the cgroup.
+More details can be found in the reclaim section of this document.
+If everything goes well, a page meta-data-structure called page_cgroup is
+allocated and associated with the page. This routine also adds the page to
+the per cgroup LRU.
+
+2.2.1 Accounting details
+
+All mapped pages (RSS) and unmapped user pages (Page Cache) are accounted.
+RSS pages are accounted at the time of page_add_*_rmap() unless they've already
+been accounted for earlier. A file page will be accounted for as Page Cache;
+it's mapped into the page tables of a process, duplicate accounting is carefully
+avoided. Page Cache pages are accounted at the time of add_to_page_cache().
+The corresponding routines that remove a page from the page tables or removes
+a page from Page Cache is used to decrement the accounting counters of the
+cgroup.
+
+2.3 Shared Page Accounting
+
+Shared pages are accounted on the basis of the first touch approach. The
+cgroup that first touches a page is accounted for the page. The principle
+behind this approach is that a cgroup that aggressively uses a shared
+page will eventually get charged for it (once it is uncharged from
+the cgroup that brought it in -- this will happen on memory pressure).
+
+2.4 Reclaim
+
+Each cgroup maintains a per cgroup LRU that consists of an active
+and inactive list. When a cgroup goes over its limit, we first try
+to reclaim memory from the cgroup so as to make space for the new
+pages that the cgroup has touched. If the reclaim is unsuccessful,
+an OOM routine is invoked to select and kill the bulkiest task in the
+cgroup.
+
+The reclaim algorithm has not been modified for cgroups, except that
+pages that are selected for reclaiming come from the per cgroup LRU
+list.
+
+2. Locking
+
+The memory controller uses the following hierarchy
+
+1. zone->lru_lock is used for selecting pages to be isolated
+2. mem->per_zone->lru_lock protects the per cgroup LRU (per zone)
+3. lock_page_cgroup() is used to protect page->page_cgroup
+
+3. User Interface
+
+0. Configuration
+
+a. Enable CONFIG_CGROUPS
+b. Enable CONFIG_RESOURCE_COUNTERS
+c. Enable CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_CONT
+
+1. Prepare the cgroups
+# mkdir -p /cgroups
+# mount -t cgroup none /cgroups -o memory
+
+2. Make the new group and move bash into it
+# mkdir /cgroups/0
+# echo $$ > /cgroups/0/tasks
+
+Since now we're in the 0 cgroup,
+We can alter the memory limit:
+# echo -n 4M > /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
+
+NOTE: We can use a suffix (k, K, m, M, g or G) to indicate values in kilo,
+mega or gigabytes.
+
+# cat /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
+4194304 Bytes
+
+NOTE: The interface has now changed to display the usage in bytes
+instead of pages
+
+We can check the usage:
+# cat /cgroups/0/memory.usage_in_bytes
+1216512 Bytes
+
+A successful write to this file does not guarantee a successful set of
+this limit to the value written into the file. This can be due to a
+number of factors, such as rounding up to page boundaries or the total
+availability of memory on the system. The user is required to re-read
+this file after a write to guarantee the value committed by the kernel.
+
+# echo -n 1 > memory.limit_in_bytes
+# cat memory.limit_in_bytes
+4096 Bytes
+
+The memory.failcnt field gives the number of times that the cgroup limit was
+exceeded.
+
+The memory.stat file gives accounting information. Now, the number of
+caches, RSS and Active pages/Inactive pages are shown.
+
+The memory.force_empty gives an interface to drop *all* charges by force.
+
+# echo -n 1 > memory.force_empty
+
+will drop all charges in cgroup. Currently, this is maintained for test.
+
+4. Testing
+
+Balbir posted lmbench, AIM9, LTP and vmmstress results [10] and [11].
+Apart from that v6 has been tested with several applications and regular
+daily use. The controller has also been tested on the PPC64, x86_64 and
+UML platforms.
+
+4.1 Troubleshooting
+
+Sometimes a user might find that the application under a cgroup is
+terminated. There are several causes for this:
+
+1. The cgroup limit is too low (just too low to do anything useful)
+2. The user is using anonymous memory and swap is turned off or too low
+
+A sync followed by echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches will help get rid of
+some of the pages cached in the cgroup (page cache pages).
+
+4.2 Task migration
+
+When a task migrates from one cgroup to another, it's charge is not
+carried forward. The pages allocated from the original cgroup still
+remain charged to it, the charge is dropped when the page is freed or
+reclaimed.
+
+4.3 Removing a cgroup
+
+A cgroup can be removed by rmdir, but as discussed in sections 4.1 and 4.2, a
+cgroup might have some charge associated with it, even though all
+tasks have migrated away from it. Such charges are automatically dropped at
+rmdir() if there are no tasks.
+
+4.4 Choosing what to account -- Page Cache (unmapped) vs RSS (mapped)?
+
+The type of memory accounted by the cgroup can be limited to just
+mapped pages by writing "1" to memory.control_type field
+
+echo -n 1 > memory.control_type
+
+5. TODO
+
+1. Add support for accounting huge pages (as a separate controller)
+2. Make per-cgroup scanner reclaim not-shared pages first
+3. Teach controller to account for shared-pages
+4. Start reclamation when the limit is lowered
+5. Start reclamation in the background when the limit is
+ not yet hit but the usage is getting closer
+
+Summary
+
+Overall, the memory controller has been a stable controller and has been
+commented and discussed quite extensively in the community.

+ cpuidle
+
+General Information:
+
+Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are differentiated
+by varying exit latencies and power consumption during idle.
+cpuidle is a generic in-kernel infrastructure that separates
+idle policy (governor) from idle mechanism (driver) and provides a
+standardized infrastructure to support independent development of
+governors and drivers.
+
+cpuidle resides under drivers/cpuidle.
+
+Boot options:
+"cpuidle_sysfs_switch"
+enables current_governor interface in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/,
+which can be used to switch governors at run time. This boot option
+is meant for developer testing only. In normal usage, kernel picks the
+best governor based on governor ratings.
+SEE ALSO: sysfs.txt in this directory.

+provides the platform idle state detection capability and also

+Mount Options
+=============
+
+Parsing options
+---------------
+
+On mount and remount the filesystem is passed a string containing a
+comma separated list of mount options. The options can have either of
+these forms:
+
+ option
+ option=value
+
+The <linux/parser.h> header defines an API that helps parse these
+options. There are plenty of examples on how to use it in existing
+filesystems.
+
+Showing options
+---------------
+
+If a filesystem accepts mount options, it must define show_options()
+to show all the currently active options. The rules are:
+
+ - options MUST be shown which are not default or their values differ
+ from the default
+
+ - options MAY be shown which are enabled by default or have their
+ default value
+
+Options used only internally between a mount helper and the kernel
+(such as file descriptors), or which only have an effect during the
+mounting (such as ones controlling the creation of a journal) are exempt
+from the above rules.
+
+The underlying reason for the above rules is to make sure, that a
+mount can be accurately replicated (e.g. umounting and mounting again)
+based on the information found in /proc/mounts.
+
+A simple method of saving options at mount/remount time and showing
+them is provided with the save_mount_options() and
+generic_show_options() helper functions. Please note, that using
+these may have drawbacks. For more info see header comments for these
+functions in fs/namespace.c.

+The driver implements two temperature sensors, two fan rotation speed
+sensors, and three voltage sensors.
+
+Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1
+degC for temp1 and temp2.
+
+Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). Fan readings
+readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
+or 128 for fan 1/2) to give the readings more range or accuracy.
+
+Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
+An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
+or maximum limit.

+1.3.2 Kretprobe entry-handler

+Kretprobes also provides an optional user-specified handler which runs
+on function entry. This handler is specified by setting the entry_handler
+field of the kretprobe struct. Whenever the kprobe placed by kretprobe at the
+function entry is hit, the user-defined entry_handler, if any, is invoked.
+If the entry_handler returns 0 (success) then a corresponding return handler

+Acer Laptop WMI Extras Driver
+http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi
+Version 0.1
+9th February 2008
+
+Copyright 2007-2008 Carlos Corbacho <carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk>
+
+acer-wmi is a driver to allow you to control various parts of your Acer laptop
+hardware under Linux which are exposed via ACPI-WMI.
+
+This driver completely replaces the old out-of-tree acer_acpi, which I am
+currently maintaining for bug fixes only on pre-2.6.25 kernels. All development
+work is now focused solely on acer-wmi.
+
+Disclaimer
+**********
+
+Acer and Wistron have provided nothing towards the development acer_acpi or
+acer-wmi. All information we have has been through the efforts of the developers
+and the users to discover as much as possible about the hardware.
+
+As such, I do warn that this could break your hardware - this is extremely
+unlikely of course, but please bear this in mind.
+
+Background
+**********
+
+acer-wmi is derived from acer_acpi, originally developed by Mark
+Smith in 2005, then taken over by Carlos Corbacho in 2007, in order to activate
+the wireless LAN card under a 64-bit version of Linux, as acerhk[1] (the
+previous solution to the problem) relied on making 32 bit BIOS calls which are
+not possible in kernel space from a 64 bit OS.
+
+[1] acerhk: http://www.cakey.de/acerhk/
+
+Supported Hardware
+******************
+
+Please see the website for the current list of known working hardare:
+
+http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/wiki/SupportedHardware
+
+If your laptop is not listed, or listed as unknown, and works with acer-wmi,
+please contact me with a copy of the DSDT.
+
+If your Acer laptop doesn't work with acer-wmi, I would also like to see the
+DSDT.
+
+To send me the DSDT, as root/sudo:
+
+cat /sys/firmware/acpi/DSDT > dsdt
+
+And send me the resulting 'dsdt' file.
+
+Usage
+*****
+
+On Acer laptops, acer-wmi should already be autoloaded based on DMI matching.
+For non-Acer laptops, until WMI based autoloading support is added, you will
+need to manually load acer-wmi.
+
+acer-wmi creates /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi, and fills it with various
+files whose usage is detailed below, which enables you to control some of the
+following (varies between models):
+
+* the wireless LAN card radio
+* inbuilt Bluetooth adapter
+* inbuilt 3G card
+* mail LED of your laptop
+* brightness of the LCD panel
+
+Wireless
+********
+
+With regards to wireless, all acer-wmi does is enable the radio on the card. It
+is not responsible for the wireless LED - once the radio is enabled, this is
+down to the wireless driver for your card. So the behaviour of the wireless LED,
+once you enable the radio, will depend on your hardware and driver combination.
+
+e.g. With the BCM4318 on the Acer Aspire 5020 series:
+
+ndiswrapper: Light blinks on when transmitting
+bcm43xx/b43: Solid light, blinks off when transmitting
+
+Wireless radio control is unconditionally enabled - all Acer laptops that support
+acer-wmi come with built-in wireless. However, should you feel so inclined to
+ever wish to remove the card, or swap it out at some point, please get in touch
+with me, as we may well be able to gain some data on wireless card detection.
+
+To read the status of the wireless radio (0=off, 1=on):
+cat /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless
+
+To enable the wireless radio:
+echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless
+
+To disable the wireless radio:
+echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless
+
+To set the state of the wireless radio when loading acer-wmi, pass:
+wireless=X (where X is 0 or 1)
+
+Bluetooth
+*********
+
+For bluetooth, this is an internal USB dongle, so once enabled, you will get
+a USB device connection event, and a new USB device appears. When you disable
+bluetooth, you get the reverse - a USB device disconnect event, followed by the
+device disappearing again.
+
+Bluetooth is autodetected by acer-wmi, so if you do not have a bluetooth module
+installed in your laptop, this file won't exist (please be aware that it is
+quite common for Acer not to fit bluetooth to their laptops - so just because
+you have a bluetooth button on the laptop, doesn't mean that bluetooth is
+installed).
+
+For the adventurously minded - if you want to buy an internal bluetooth
+module off the internet that is compatible with your laptop and fit it, then
+it will work just fine with acer-wmi.
+
+To read the status of the bluetooth module (0=off, 1=on):
+cat /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless
+
+To enable the bluetooth module:
+echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/bluetooth
+
+To disable the bluetooth module:
+echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/bluetooth
+
+To set the state of the bluetooth module when loading acer-wmi, pass:
+bluetooth=X (where X is 0 or 1)
+
+3G
+**
+
+3G is currently not autodetected, so the 'threeg' file is always created under
+sysfs. So far, no-one in possession of an Acer laptop with 3G built-in appears to
+have tried Linux, or reported back, so we don't have any information on this.
+
+If you have an Acer laptop that does have a 3G card in, please contact me so we
+can properly detect these, and find out a bit more about them.
+
+To read the status of the 3G card (0=off, 1=on):
+cat /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/threeg
+
+To enable the 3G card:
+echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/threeg
+
+To disable the 3G card:
+echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/threeg
+
+To set the state of the 3G card when loading acer-wmi, pass:
+threeg=X (where X is 0 or 1)
+
+Mail LED
+********
+
+This can be found in most older Acer laptops supported by acer-wmi, and many
+newer ones - it is built into the 'mail' button, and blinks when active.
+
+On newer (WMID) laptops though, we have no way of detecting the mail LED. If
+your laptop identifies itself in dmesg as a WMID model, then please try loading
+acer_acpi with:
+
+force_series=2490
+
+This will use a known alternative method of reading/ writing the mail LED. If
+it works, please report back to me with the DMI data from your laptop so this
+can be added to acer-wmi.
+
+The LED is exposed through the LED subsystem, and can be found in:
+
+/sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/leds/acer-mail:green/
+
+The mail LED is autodetected, so if you don't have one, the LED device won't
+be registered.
+
+If you have a mail LED that is not green, please report this to me.
+
+Backlight
+*********
+
+The backlight brightness control is available on all acer-wmi supported
+hardware. The maximum brightness level is usually 15, but on some newer laptops
+it's 10 (this is again autodetected).
+
+The backlight is exposed through the backlight subsystem, and can be found in:
+
+/sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/backlight/acer-wmi/

+Hardware accelerated blink of LEDs
+==================================
+
+Some LEDs can be programmed to blink without any CPU interaction. To
+support this feature, a LED driver can optionally implement the
+blink_set() function (see <linux/leds.h>). If implemeted, triggers can
+attempt to use it before falling back to software timers. The blink_set()
+function should return 0 if the blink setting is supported, or -EINVAL
+otherwise, which means that LED blinking will be handled by software.
+
+The blink_set() function should choose a user friendly blinking
+value if it is called with *delay_on==0 && *delay_off==0 parameters. In

+ =========================
+ MN10300 FUNCTION CALL ABI
+ =========================
+
+=======
+GENERAL
+=======
+
+The MN10300/AM33 kernel runs in little-endian mode; big-endian mode is not
+supported.
+
+The stack grows downwards, and should always be 32-bit aligned. There are
+separate stack pointer registers for userspace and the kernel.
+
+
+================
+ARGUMENT PASSING
+================
+
+The first two arguments (assuming up to 32-bits per argument) to a function are
+passed in the D0 and D1 registers respectively; all other arguments are passed
+on the stack.
+
+If 64-bit arguments are being passed, then they are never split between
+registers and the stack. If the first argument is a 64-bit value, it will be
+passed in D0:D1. If the first argument is not a 64-bit value, but the second
+is, the second will be passed entirely on the stack and D1 will be unused.
+
+Arguments smaller than 32-bits are not coelesced within a register or a stack
+word. For example, two byte-sized arguments will always be passed in separate
+registers or word-sized stack slots.
+
+
+=================
+CALLING FUNCTIONS
+=================
+
+The caller must allocate twelve bytes on the stack for the callee's use before
+it inserts a CALL instruction. The CALL instruction will write into the TOS
+word, but won't actually modify the stack pointer; similarly, the RET
+instruction reads from the TOS word of the stack, but doesn't move the stack
+pointer beyond it.
+
+
+ Stack:
+ | |
+ | |
+ |---------------| SP+20
+ | 4th Arg |
+ |---------------| SP+16
+ | 3rd Arg |
+ |---------------| SP+12
+ | D1 Save Slot |
+ |---------------| SP+8
+ | D0 Save Slot |
+ |---------------| SP+4
+ | Return Addr |
+ |---------------| SP
+ | |
+ | |
+
+
+The caller must leave space on the stack (hence an allocation of twelve bytes)
+in which the callee may store the first two arguments.
+
+
+============
+RETURN VALUE
+============
+
+The return value is passed in D0 for an integer (or D0:D1 for a 64-bit value),
+or A0 for a pointer.
+
+If the return value is a value larger than 64-bits, or is a structure or an
+array, then a hidden first argument will be passed to the callee by the caller:
+this will point to a piece of memory large enough to hold the result of the
+function. In this case, the callee will return the value in that piece of
+memory, and no value will be returned in D0 or A0.
+
+
+===================
+REGISTER CLOBBERING
+===================
+
+The values in certain registers may be clobbered by the callee, and other
+values must be saved:
+
+ Clobber: D0-D1, A0-A1, E0-E3
+ Save: D2-D3, A2-A3, E4-E7, SP
+
+All other non-supervisor-only registers are clobberable (such as MDR, MCRL,
+MCRH).
+
+
+=================
+SPECIAL REGISTERS
+=================
+
+Certain ordinary registers may carry special usage for the compiler:
+
+ A3: Frame pointer
+ E2: TLS pointer
+
+
+==========
+KERNEL ABI
+==========
+
+The kernel may use a slightly different ABI internally.
+
+ (*) E2
+
+ If CONFIG_MN10300_CURRENT_IN_E2 is defined, then the current task pointer
+ will be kept in the E2 register, and that register will be marked
+ unavailable for the compiler to use as a scratch register.
+
+ Normally the kernel uses something like:
+
+ MOV SP,An
+ AND 0xFFFFE000,An
+ MOV (An),Rm // Rm holds current
+ MOV (yyy,Rm) // Access current->yyy
+
+ To find the address of current; but since this option permits current to
+ be carried globally in an register, it can use:
+
+ MOV (yyy,E2) // Access current->yyy
+
+ instead.
+
+
+===============
+SYSTEM CALL ABI
+===============
+
+System calls are called with the following convention:
+
+ REGISTER ENTRY EXIT
+ =============== ======================= =======================
+ D0 Syscall number Return value
+ A0 1st syscall argument Saved
+ D1 2nd syscall argument Saved
+ A3 3rd syscall argument Saved
+ A2 4th syscall argument Saved
+ D3 5th syscall argument Saved
+ D2 6th syscall argument Saved
+
+All other registers are saved. The layout is a consequence of the way the MOVM
+instruction stores registers onto the stack.

+ PART-SPECIFIC SOURCE COMPARTMENTALISATION
+ =========================================
+
+The sources for various parts are compartmentalised at two different levels:
+
+ (1) Processor level
+
+ The "processor level" is a CPU core plus the other on-silicon
+ peripherals.
+
+ Processor-specific header files are divided among directories in a similar
+ way to the CPU level:
+
+ (*) include/asm-mn10300/proc-mn103e010/
+
+ Support for the AM33v2 CPU core.
+
+ The appropriate processor is selected by a CONFIG_MN10300_PROC_YYYY option
+ from the "Processor support" choice menu in the arch/mn10300/Kconfig file.
+
+
+ (2) Unit level
+
+ The "unit level" is a processor plus all the external peripherals
+ controlled by that processor.
+
+ Unit-specific header files are divided among directories in a similar way
+ to the CPU level; not only that, but specific sources may also be
+ segregated into separate directories under the arch directory:
+
+ (*) include/asm-mn10300/unit-asb2303/
+ (*) arch/mn10300/unit-asb2303/
+
+ Support for the ASB2303 board with an ASB2308 daughter board.
+
+ (*) include/asm-mn10300/unit-asb2305/
+ (*) arch/mn10300/unit-asb2305/
+
+ Support for the ASB2305 board.
+
+ The appropriate processor is selected by a CONFIG_MN10300_UNIT_ZZZZ option
+ from the "Unit type" choice menu in the arch/mn10300/Kconfig file.
+
+
+============
+COMPILE TIME
+============
+
+When the kernel is compiled, symbolic links will be made in the asm header file
+directory for this arch:
+
+ include/asm-mn10300/proc => include/asm-mn10300/proc-YYYY/
+ include/asm-mn10300/unit => include/asm-mn10300/unit-ZZZZ/
+
+So that the header files contained in those directories can be accessed without
+lots of #ifdef-age.
+
+The appropriate arch/mn10300/unit-ZZZZ directory will also be entered by the
+compilation process; all other unit-specific directories will be ignored.

+Real-Time group scheduling.
+
+The problem space:
+
+In order to schedule multiple groups of realtime tasks each group must
+be assigned a fixed portion of the CPU time available. Without a minimum
+guarantee a realtime group can obviously fall short. A fuzzy upper limit
+is of no use since it cannot be relied upon. Which leaves us with just
+the single fixed portion.
+
+CPU time is divided by means of specifying how much time can be spent
+running in a given period. Say a frame fixed realtime renderer must
+deliver 25 frames a second, which yields a period of 0.04s. Now say
+it will also have to play some music and respond to input, leaving it
+with around 80% for the graphics. We can then give this group a runtime
+of 0.8 * 0.04s = 0.032s.
+
+This way the graphics group will have a 0.04s period with a 0.032s runtime
+limit.
+
+Now if the audio thread needs to refill the DMA buffer every 0.005s, but
+needs only about 3% CPU time to do so, it can do with a 0.03 * 0.005s
+= 0.00015s.
+
+
+The Interface:
+
+system wide:
+
+/proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_ms
+/proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
+
+CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED
+
+/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_rt_runtime_us
+
+or
+
+CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED
+
+/cgroup/<cgroup>/cpu.rt_runtime_us
+
+[ time is specified in us because the interface is s32; this gives an
+ operating range of ~35m to 1us ]
+
+The period takes values in [ 1, INT_MAX ], runtime in [ -1, INT_MAX - 1 ].
+
+A runtime of -1 specifies runtime == period, ie. no limit.
+
+New groups get the period from /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us and
+a runtime of 0.
+
+Settings are constrained to:
+
+ \Sum_{i} runtime_{i} / global_period <= global_runtime / global_period
+

+Generic Thermal Sysfs driver How To
+=========================
+
+Written by Sujith Thomas <sujith.thomas@intel.com>, Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
+
+Updated: 2 January 2008

+Copyright (c) 2008 Intel Corporation
+
+
+0. Introduction
+
+The generic thermal sysfs provides a set of interfaces for thermal zone devices (sensors)
+and thermal cooling devices (fan, processor...) to register with the thermal management
+solution and to be a part of it.
+
+This how-to focuses on enabling new thermal zone and cooling devices to participate
+in thermal management.
+This solution is platform independent and any type of thermal zone devices and
+cooling devices should be able to make use of the infrastructure.
+
+The main task of the thermal sysfs driver is to expose thermal zone attributes as well
+as cooling device attributes to the user space.
+An intelligent thermal management application can make decisions based on inputs
+from thermal zone attributes (the current temperature and trip point temperature)
+and throttle appropriate devices.
+
+[0-*] denotes any positive number starting from 0
+[1-*] denotes any positive number starting from 1
+
+1. thermal sysfs driver interface functions
+
+1.1 thermal zone device interface
+1.1.1 struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_zone_device_register(char *name, int trips,
+ void *devdata, struct thermal_zone_device_ops *ops)
+
+ This interface function adds a new thermal zone device (sensor) to
+ /sys/class/thermal folder as thermal_zone[0-*].
+ It tries to bind all the thermal cooling devices registered at the same time.

+ .unbind: unbind the thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device.
+ .get_temp: get the current temperature of the thermal zone.
+ .get_mode: get the current mode (user/kernel) of the thermal zone.

+ "user" will prevent kernel thermal driver actions upon trip points
+ so that user applications can take charge of thermal management.
+ .set_mode: set the mode (user/kernel) of the thermal zone.
+ .get_trip_type: get the type of certain trip point.
+ .get_trip_temp: get the temperature above which the certain trip point

+1.3 interface for binding a thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device
+1.3.1 int thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device(struct thermal_zone_device *tz,
+ int trip, struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev);
+
+ This interface function bind a thermal cooling device to the certain trip point
+ of a thermal zone device.
+ This function is usually called in the thermal zone device .bind callback.

+UNALIGNED MEMORY ACCESSES
+=========================
+
+Linux runs on a wide variety of architectures which have varying behaviour
+when it comes to memory access. This document presents some details about
+unaligned accesses, why you need to write code that doesn't cause them,
+and how to write such code!
+
+
+The definition of an unaligned access
+=====================================
+
+Unaligned memory accesses occur when you try to read N bytes of data starting
+from an address that is not evenly divisible by N (i.e. addr % N != 0).
+For example, reading 4 bytes of data from address 0x10004 is fine, but
+reading 4 bytes of data from address 0x10005 would be an unaligned memory
+access.
+
+The above may seem a little vague, as memory access can happen in different
+ways. The context here is at the machine code level: certain instructions read
+or write a number of bytes to or from memory (e.g. movb, movw, movl in x86
+assembly). As will become clear, it is relatively easy to spot C statements
+which will compile to multiple-byte memory access instructions, namely when
+dealing with types such as u16, u32 and u64.
+
+
+Natural alignment
+=================
+
+The rule mentioned above forms what we refer to as natural alignment:
+When accessing N bytes of memory, the base memory address must be evenly
+divisible by N, i.e. addr % N == 0.
+
+When writing code, assume the target architecture has natural alignment
+requirements.
+
+In reality, only a few architectures require natural alignment on all sizes
+of memory access. However, we must consider ALL supported architectures;
+writing code that satisfies natural alignment requirements is the easiest way
+to achieve full portability.
+
+
+Why unaligned access is bad
+===========================
+
+The effects of performing an unaligned memory access vary from architecture
+to architecture. It would be easy to write a whole document on the differences
+here; a summary of the common scenarios is presented below:
+
+ - Some architectures are able to perform unaligned memory accesses
+ transparently, but there is usually a significant performance cost.
+ - Some architectures raise processor exceptions when unaligned accesses
+ happen. The exception handler is able to correct the unaligned access,
+ at significant cost to performance.
+ - Some architectures raise processor exceptions when unaligned accesses
+ happen, but the exceptions do not contain enough information for the
+ unaligned access to be corrected.
+ - Some architectures are not capable of unaligned memory access, but will
+ silently perform a different memory access to the one that was requested,
+ resulting a a subtle code bug that is hard to detect!
+
+It should be obvious from the above that if your code causes unaligned
+memory accesses to happen, your code will not work correctly on certain
+platforms and will cause performance problems on others.
+
+
+Code that does not cause unaligned access
+=========================================
+
+At first, the concepts above may seem a little hard to relate to actual
+coding practice. After all, you don't have a great deal of control over
+memory addresses of certain variables, etc.
+
+Fortunately things are not too complex, as in most cases, the compiler
+ensures that things will work for you. For example, take the following
+structure:
+
+ struct foo {
+ u16 field1;
+ u32 field2;
+ u8 field3;
+ };
+
+Let us assume that an instance of the above structure resides in memory
+starting at address 0x10000. With a basic level of understanding, it would
+not be unreasonable to expect that accessing field2 would cause an unaligned
+access. You'd be expecting field2 to be located at offset 2 bytes into the
+structure, i.e. address 0x10002, but that address is not evenly divisible
+by 4 (remember, we're reading a 4 byte value here).
+
+Fortunately, the compiler understands the alignment constraints, so in the
+above case it would insert 2 bytes of padding in between field1 and field2.
+Therefore, for standard structure types you can always rely on the compiler
+to pad structures so that accesses to fields are suitably aligned (assuming
+you do not cast the field to a type of different length).
+
+Similarly, you can also rely on the compiler to align variables and function
+parameters to a naturally aligned scheme, based on the size of the type of
+the variable.
+
+At this point, it should be clear that accessing a single byte (u8 or char)
+will never cause an unaligned access, because all memory addresses are evenly
+divisible by one.
+
+On a related topic, with the above considerations in mind you may observe
+that you could reorder the fields in the structure in order to place fields
+where padding would otherwise be inserted, and hence reduce the overall
+resident memory size of structure instances. The optimal layout of the
+above example is:
+
+ struct foo {
+ u32 field2;
+ u16 field1;
+ u8 field3;
+ };
+
+For a natural alignment scheme, the compiler would only have to add a single
+byte of padding at the end of the structure. This padding is added in order
+to satisfy alignment constraints for arrays of these structures.
+
+Another point worth mentioning is the use of __attribute__((packed)) on a
+structure type. This GCC-specific attribute tells the compiler never to
+insert any padding within structures, useful when you want to use a C struct
+to represent some data that comes in a fixed arrangement 'off the wire'.
+
+You might be inclined to believe that usage of this attribute can easily
+lead to unaligned accesses when accessing fields that do not satisfy
+architectural alignment requirements. However, again, the compiler is aware
+of the alignment constraints and will generate extra instructions to perform
+the memory access in a way that does not cause unaligned access. Of course,
+the extra instructions obviously cause a loss in performance compared to the
+non-packed case, so the packed attribute should only be used when avoiding
+structure padding is of importance.
+
+
+Code that causes unaligned access
+=================================
+
+With the above in mind, let's move onto a real life example of a function
+that can cause an unaligned memory access. The following function adapted
+from include/linux/etherdevice.h is an optimized routine to compare two
+ethernet MAC addresses for equality.
+
+unsigned int compare_ether_addr(const u8 *addr1, const u8 *addr2)
+{
+ const u16 *a = (const u16 *) addr1;
+ const u16 *b = (const u16 *) addr2;
+ return ((a[0] ^ b[0]) | (a[1] ^ b[1]) | (a[2] ^ b[2])) != 0;
+}
+
+In the above function, the reference to a[0] causes 2 bytes (16 bits) to
+be read from memory starting at address addr1. Think about what would happen
+if addr1 was an odd address such as 0x10003. (Hint: it'd be an unaligned
+access.)
+
+Despite the potential unaligned access problems with the above function, it
+is included in the kernel anyway but is understood to only work on
+16-bit-aligned addresses. It is up to the caller to ensure this alignment or
+not use this function at all. This alignment-unsafe function is still useful
+as it is a decent optimization for the cases when you can ensure alignment,
+which is true almost all of the time in ethernet networking context.
+
+
+Here is another example of some code that could cause unaligned accesses:
+ void myfunc(u8 *data, u32 value)
+ {
+ [...]
+ *((u32 *) data) = cpu_to_le32(value);
+ [...]
+ }
+
+This code will cause unaligned accesses every time the data parameter points
+to an address that is not evenly divisible by 4.
+
+In summary, the 2 main scenarios where you may run into unaligned access
+problems involve:
+ 1. Casting variables to types of different lengths
+ 2. Pointer arithmetic followed by access to at least 2 bytes of data
+
+
+Avoiding unaligned accesses
+===========================
+
+The easiest way to avoid unaligned access is to use the get_unaligned() and
+put_unaligned() macros provided by the <asm/unaligned.h> header file.
+
+Going back to an earlier example of code that potentially causes unaligned
+access:
+
+ void myfunc(u8 *data, u32 value)
+ {
+ [...]
+ *((u32 *) data) = cpu_to_le32(value);
+ [...]
+ }
+
+To avoid the unaligned memory access, you would rewrite it as follows:
+
+ void myfunc(u8 *data, u32 value)
+ {
+ [...]
+ value = cpu_to_le32(value);
+ put_unaligned(value, (u32 *) data);
+ [...]
+ }
+
+The get_unaligned() macro works similarly. Assuming 'data' is a pointer to
+memory and you wish to avoid unaligned access, its usage is as follows:
+
+ u32 value = get_unaligned((u32 *) data);
+
+These macros work work for memory accesses of any length (not just 32 bits as
+in the examples above). Be aware that when compared to standard access of
+aligned memory, using these macros to access unaligned memory can be costly in
+terms of performance.
+
+If use of such macros is not convenient, another option is to use memcpy(),
+where the source or destination (or both) are of type u8* or unsigned char*.
+Due to the byte-wise nature of this operation, unaligned accesses are avoided.

+Kernel driver w1-gpio
+=====================
+
+Author: Ville Syrjala <syrjala@sci.fi>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+GPIO 1-wire bus master driver. The driver uses the GPIO API to control the
+wire and the GPIO pin can be specified using platform data.
+
+
+Example (mach-at91)
+-------------------

+ .pin = AT91_PIN_PB20,
+ .is_open_drain = 1,
+};
+
+static struct platform_device foo_w1_device = {
+ .name = "w1-gpio",
+ .id = -1,
+ .dev.platform_data = &foo_w1_gpio_pdata,
+};
